Fat Bastard Burrito

Every time I come to Toronto, my cousins take me to Burrito Boys. That has become a staple of every visit, but this year, we went to Fat Bastard because it was close to where we were and I thoroughly enjoyed my burrito!
We went there around 12:30 at night, a little bit before they were about to close. The guys working at the restaurant were extremely nice and friendly. I ordered a bean and rice veggie burrito and asked for everything in it. I’m not a big fan of cole slaw, but I figured to just do the works and it was a very nice complement to the rest of the burrito. I got it spicy, with extra hot sauce, and the cole slaw gave it this sweet taste to it.
Solid burrito and it filled me up with just getting the Lil. They have two larger sizes too. I thought it wasn’t going to close, but they grill the burrito at the end and pack it up nicely — solid food and will definitely add this to my late night spots when I go to Toronto. Very clean too!

I’ve found myself coming here not too much for the food, but more for the convenience and the portion size. Besides Z-​teca, the options are limited when it comes to oversized burrito places in the area.
Does that means the food is terrible? Depends… As many have noted the chicken is not the best pick. How they make it is by cooking a large batch of chicken and then adding a portion to a sauce pan with their respective sauce for each order. This method, although convenient, causes the chicken to be dry and overcoooked. I tried the buffalo and the sauce overwhelmed everything, it was similar to eating rice with a ridiculous amount of hot sauce.
The beef however I find pleasant, its not dry and pulls apart very well. They are usually generous with the meat as it covers the entire box (I get the naked burrito). Similar to Subway, they add ingredients based on your preference. Guac is included in the price, however not exactly the best tasting. You can add beans, rice, or noodles (well that was a first) followed by the assortment of toppings.
The portion size is big and after mixing everything together this taste is pretty good. Would I order the chicken again… nope.

Absolutely awful, I had the butter chicken with double meat. Its more expensive than chipotle, less filling and honestly doesn’t taste any where as good. I had difficulty tasting the chicken in the wrap and the chicken had no texture. The only redeeming quality is the size and even then its not particular impressive compared to either burrito boyz or chipotle.

Went to Fat Bastard Burrito for a lunch Hour, and this is not the first time i went to this location. I had the Butter Chicken burrito, and my friend had the chipotle chicken one.
I have to say their pulled pork is better then this, the butter chicken was overcooked to begin with and it did not taste very good. The Buritto is definitely large enough to fill almost any appetite, however the size is all i can say for this burrito. It wasn’t very good overall.
The chipotle chicken had the same problem of the overcooked chicken, which made it very rough to eat, and not at all tender and nice.
This franchise has a lot of choices when it comes to toppings, howevr they are not equally as good.
The one thing that does stand out at this place however, is that the Staff is very nice and friendly. this is definitely the strong part of this store. I would suggest though that when someone tries this place next time, definetely don’t’ go for chicken in the burrito, and try the other flavours and meats

This place could rival chipotle and gives Z-​Teca a run for it’s money. Definitely the most innovative one yet! I had the butter chicken burrito and it was amazing. I love he different assortments of toppings like a subway style of adding almost everything you want or need. I would hold off on the hot sauce as it makes the burrito a little more watery then it should. Just load up on japlenos for the same kind of fire! Can’t wait to come try something new at my next visit!

Staff is nice, great layout for the store. Two TVs and also sells Blair’s chips. The dude helping me was intricate in handling my burrito which was sweet. Guacamole is $ 1 extra. They’ve framed their reviews, have deep fried marsbars and sport a butter chicken burrito to intrigue. You won’t be disappointed because you will be FULL! Good place to spend extra bucks when Johnny’s Hamburgers is busy next door.

Went over to Fat Bastard Burritos on a whim, as it was late night and the lineup at Johnny’s Hamburgers was ridiculous. Good ol’ Unilocal App told me that this place was open late and to be quite honest, I didn’t feel like eating a burger and fries.
I’m so glad that I came here!
I agree with the price point of the food and was even more excited that I could get my steak burrito «naked» as a rice dish instead of with a tortilla. So filling and satisfying. As well, they sell imported Coca-​Cola from Mexico, which is not as harsh as the kind we are sold here. Nice little touch. Loved it so much, bought extras for home.

Best Burrito/​Quesadillas/​Mexican restaurant in Toronto! Simply put it: this is a true mexican food experience u must try. I ordered Veggie Quesadilla and my buddy ordered Baja Chipotle Chicken Burrito and it was both awesome and delicious. 10x vetter than Chipotle & any other mexican restaurant in town.

We have been waiting to try this burrito place, and tonight we finally got our chance.
We were greeted by the staff behind the counter, and at first they were helpful explaining the different sizes and types of burritos they offered. The ordering was quick, and we moved on to the toppings. Not sure about why noodles would be added to a burrito, but maybe I’ll give it a try next time. The usual toppings were offered, though I found it a little frustrating that I had to ask what each of them were, and it wasn’t until I was almost home that I realized I’d forgotten to get jalapeños. Good thing the hot sauce I asked for was hot enough.
I ordered the special burrito of the week which was a red ale chicken supposedly with some heat. The rest of my family ordered various forms of chicken, and one ground beef.
The sizes were plenty, and the flavours were good. One complaint was that there were not enough vegetables in the toppings.
Overall I was satisfied and I will try another one on another day.

I tried this place one night with my wife we got the tequila lime chicken burrito, it was very good but also expensive. I couldn’t see myself eating here more than a couple times a year just because it’s so big but if you’re definitely craving something different this is a good call. The name says it all, come hungry.

Oh burritos how I love thee! How do I express this love? By eating a yummy delicious burrito at fat bastards! A big ol’ «lil one.»
The flavours are good! The portions will get you completely full for hours on end. For you crazy hot heads– they got death sauce items! What is there not to love about this place? I personally wasn’t a fan of the fried so definitely go for the baked chickens. Mmm I must stop writing this review and go back for some more!
P.S they deliver as well! Perfection!

Came here Friday night and fell in love! One reviewer said the burrito sang in his mouth — well let me just say I joined the choir since Friday!
I had the steak burrito with all the works and extra hot sauce and it made my mouth sing like Celine Dion’s high notes. The service was super friendly and employees were fun and energetic. The place was clean — the employee was prompt in cleaning the tables after customers left. I watched some raptors on the tv as I ate. It was just an enjoyable, bright ans warm atmosphere and I will definitely hit this place up again!

I had lunch today at this Fat Bastard Burrito Co. I love burritos and have had them from other Fat Bastard locations and liked them.
It was REALLY REALLY cold in the restaurant. I kept my coat on while I was eating and my toes honestly were freezing. Not a comfortable dining experience.
I ordered what I always get … a chicken burrito. I ordered a «big» burrito, which is their medium size. It seems like cold is the theme here because though the outside of the burrito was grilled, everything else was cold … the rice, the beans and the chicken … and they shouldn’t have been. I was tempted to ask them to heat it in the microwave but I wasn’t sure how it would turn out.
I won’t be back!

I went a few weeks ago after a good workout, and I had heard from a buddy of mine that Fat Bastard Burrito was a great place.
I ordered a large Beef Burrito, with black beans, vegetables, the sauces and cheese. I got into it, and it was good, but as I was eating it, it started to taste more and more like my mother’s meat loaf. The beef was alright, it could have been better.
So far I have only had Mucho Burrito and Fat Bastard Burrito, and I must say Mucho Burrito had better beef. This might change as I have to try Burrito Boyz.

I like big food. I like mexican food. I like burritos. Put it all together and this place is perfect for what i’m looking for.
There are several places like this but each have their own specialty. In my opinion, Burrito Boyz is own to be one of the first burrito places. Chino Locos is known for their korean/​asian inspired burritos incorporating bulgogi and chow main in their burritos. ZTeca is known for their simplicity and sitting area. Fat Bastard is known for their massive sizes, choice and uniqueness of toppings. They have 3 different sizes: little, big and huge. You can choose from two lists of meats (premium and regular). For toppings you can have rice, chow mein and/​or beans. Then top it off with the usual guac, salsa, cliantro, sour cream etc etc. But then comes the interesting part. their hot sauce and chips. Their hot sauce is preeeettttyyy hot but delicious. You’ll feel the pain for sure. They also break up their very own nacho chips into small pieces and add them to the burrito for texture. It all works out very well together.
Pricing wise my big (medium) size burrito was $ 13 after tax and including my extra meat with it. It’s not cheap but totally worth it.
The restaurant is a decent size, concentrating on more so quick fast food style eating. You walk in, lineup, order and wait for your burrito based on your receipt number. You can choose to chill around the high stand up tables to eat or take it out. It’s lively and loud with a large tv, usually playing NBA TV for some reason.
It is located along Victoria Park just south of Sheppard at a small strip plaza. Parking is limited, especially during lunch hours considering it’s across the street from a tonne of corporate buildings. If you don’t want to wait for your food then you have plenty of other options.
Overall, i like this place a lot more then the other burrito themed spots. Funny thing is burritos are never like this in Mexico so consider this a fusion and completely made up creation.
Higly recommended.

Huge portions, great service and selection. I’ve been to a few of their locations and have never been disappointed!

This was my first experience at Fat Bastard, and I was very happy with the service and food. The menu is limited to burritos, quesadillas, and sides. I ordered a Huge chicken burrito to share, and chips and salsa. The toppings were plentiful, from beans to rice to guacamole to pico de gallo, and everything seemed quite fresh, and the chicken were large, tender, white meat pieces. I was very happy with my meal, and the quantity was more than enough for two ladies at lunch. You can eat in, take out, or have the food delivered.

Ok so just like the others I was very excited when fat bastard opened at Victoria park and Sheppard. However this place does not match up to the fat bastard at warden and Elglinton. I hoped for it to get better but didn’t. I got a half cooked ground beef burrito last night and it was very dry and powdery. I have also noticed that their quality degrades if you go there late at night. I would rather have them close early than stay open till 1 am and serve crap. Next time I go to fat bastard it will be at warden and eglinton. The one at Vic park and Sheppard doesn’t seem to be improving.

Recently opened and right across from my work. Staff looked very young and inexperienced… BUT I cannot blame them the day I visited. It was a hot summers day and it was 30 plus degrees Celsius outside with a broken air conditioner on the inside of this joint, so needless to say it felt like I was visiting a sauna. After just a few minutes of waiting I was dripping with sweat.
The young lady that was serving me was very friendly and had a bright, positive smile considering the working conditions. I ordered the HUGE chicken burrito $ 10.49. I added 2 – 3 toppings and she saw how small the burrito looked so she asked if I wanted more of the toppings that I had already chosen. Of course I agreed. She also warned me two times that the hot sauce is very hot and asked how many lines of hot sauce I wanted. I said one line was enough but it sounded like she was providing me with an illegal substance if you know what I mean :)
The person working the grill looked very inexperienced like it was his first time manning the grill but still he got the job done.
By the time my burrito was finished it had looked like a had finished a workout. I could tell which burrito was mine cuz it was the most obese burrito on the grill.
No complaints with the food but just wish they had black beans instead of the brown beans.
Solid 3.5

I have been waiting weeks for FB to open and the day has finally come.
Came here for lunch this week with co-​workers and I was not disappointed.
The store is fresh and clean and servers were polite and welcoming.
Burritos come in 3 sizes but the portions are still large so bring your appetite. I had the tequila lime chicken burrito as expected it was great, fresh tasting but make sure you ask for the crunchies (I forgot this time).
